Review:

"A fascinating work that overwhelms us with its truth . . . This book must be read and reread." --Elie Wiesel, "Chicago Tribune"
"A classic story . . . Indispensable for the material it contains, for the soundness of its scholarship, and for Gilbert's ability to narrate and present this history in a style that bears the weight of the subject matter." --"The Christian Science Monitor"

From the Back Cover:

A HISTORY OF THE JEWS DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR

"No cloacal imagery, no savage indignation, and no elaborate interpretation will ever capture the nauseating realities of the Holocaust more exactly than this masterpiece of the chronicler's craft"
PIERS BRENDON, 'The Times'

"This tome is an archivist's Kaddish, the never-to-be-silenced act of remembrance and prayer for the dead"
GEORGE STEINER, 'Sunday Times'

"He has done more than any historian for those who are forever silent. One reads his book with bleeding eyes"
NORA LEVIN, 'KRA'

"By far the most painful book I have ever read or am ever likely to read"
GERALD KAUFMAN, 'Manchester Evening News'

"Likely to remain the standard history of the Holocaust"
CONOR CRUISE O'BRIEN, 'Observer'

"Meticulously documented"
GEOFFREY BEST, 'Guardian'

"Heartbreaking"
LORD BELOFF, 'Daily Telegraph'
